Night Writer
Posted in Daily Pictures, Reflections on January 18, 2014 by VergeI’ve always been a late night writer. I’m often too busy during the day, and it’s not until after most loose ends are finally tied up, that I can finally relax. And, much like dreaming, it’s when I can finally process the day, choose to keep the memories that I want, and allow the insignificant tangles to wash away.
And, as the waves recede back into the sea, there are always stellar remains on the beach of our lives that are worth collecting, and keeping. They are always insignificant to others. Like a shell collection, that is trash to most, but sacred to yourself
Perhaps that’s why I have trouble sleeping most nights. I’m not sure dreams complete the process for me. Writing is what helps me tease out what’s important in life. And I’m pretty sure that’s why I’ve been having lucid dreams lately. Even asleep, I’m trying to wake up.
When the things we keep are simple pictures of the snow, in A January Winter in New Jersey, they mean something to me, though they might like appear to be pictures that are snapshots of the mundane nothingness.
Gotta Find a Road that Brings Me Back Slow…
Posted in Daily Pictures on January 17, 2014 by VergeDay two on the compound.
Night two in my temporary home.
Wish I had more time to write and reflect. Not right now. Been working 12 hour days, outside for most of it. And though it’s not been that cold, it’s going to be, and I’m not looking forward to the rain and snow tomorrow.
I’m not complaining. I still have the glow of my new lamp and my old laptop to keep me warm in my hotel room at the end of the day.
Traveling and Being Away…
Posted in Daily Pictures, Reflections on January 16, 2014 by VergeHere I am. In beautiful New Jersey. Grey skies, parking lots, stale hotel rooms, and free internet service. And the stars all seem to weep. There’s never any time to sleep. So little time, but miss everyone so much.
The Sixteenth of January, Two Thousand and Fourteen

Posted in Daily Pictures on January 9, 2014 by VergeLearned one of the toughest lessons, for me, I’ve ever had to learn today. Sometimes, no matter what you still have to say, no matter how much you still want to fight for what you want, you just have to let the other person have the last word. And then swallow your own, take what little dignity you have left, and walk away in silence.
Still haven’t learned the one about not turning around in the rain, at the end of the driveway, and looking back to see if anyone is still at the doorway.
